TheHunter: Call of the Wild - Bloodhound Review (Lemmiwinks)
I see all these half-assed reviews of why the dog sucks and, frankly, sounds like user error to me.
-Even when you first get the dog and doesn't have a "bond" with you yet, he will still listen to your commands with no issue. I don't even know what the bond issues are about. My dog has been a good boy from the moment I manifested him. *shrug*
-The dog is not only very useful in keeping track of beasts that you have shot, but I have also noticed that when you crouch, he gets very quiet and tries to stay out of your way.
-The commanding whistles do not make noise, so you can communicate with your dog even while tracking and being sneaky.
-Tell him to sit or stay, he will do just that until you need him again. He is highlighted really well so you don't lose him... because who wants that? :(
-The loyalty drain isn't that bad as long as you praise him after each kill and resting spot he finds.
-When you walk, he walks. When you run, he will keep up with you. Duh.
-Yes, he WILL wander a bit when you are targeting an animal and using calls. All you have to do is tell him to lay down and boom. Sweet silence and concentration resumes when hunting.
-Spend your money how you want, but my ONLY criticism about the dog is that he will get stuck on rocks when tracking. If you don't want a droopy Snoopy constantly following you all the time, then this DLC isn't for you. Other than that. Best Doggo. <3
